Merry Christmas Y'all!



Recommended Posts

Yes, Merry Christmas to everyone! May you be warm, content, and healthy - with plenty of good, healthy food and drink, surrounded by family and friends you love. And if you don't get what you want, may you find it on sale afterwards - in just your size and color!

LOL Marie. :) Merry Christmas to everyone! Here's wishing you all a safe and happy holiday and a wonderful, LOSING New Year. (as in weight, I mean.)

Isn't it great to go into the new year knowing that we'll be able to keep any resolution to lose weight? Think of the millions of people who get discouraged by February and are berating themselves, and eating themselves senseless, by springtime. May your days be merry and bright, everyone! (I'm off for a family celebration -- all adult siblings united for the first time in nearly 20 years.)

I'm heading out in a couple hours. I need a nice break from my kitchen. We're toting a ham, 4 pies, 2 batches of fudge, various Cookies, and a lasagna. My son is now 29 years old! Happy Merry Birthday Christmas at the grandparents' house. :)

Y'all have a WONDERFUL Christmas. (I'm half Texan/Okie -- but don't tell the New Yorker half of me!)

I'm heading out too for a few hours, going into Los Angeles to my Aunt's house for a Lebanese Feast..should be interesting, I have not eaten Lebanese food since my band. Any one know anything about Lebanese food, the use alot of rice and wheat germ..it expands in your tummy, you are not supposed to drink for a good hour after eating ..so that should be good for me now :) ..Merry Christmas to all of you. Be safe & have fun!

Zoe...you are so right in your post. I feel so confident this New year about my weight for the first time in my life .

Been visiting different friends here and there today. Going to a Christmas Eve party tonight. Will have Christmas dinner with family here tomorrow. I really lucked out! One friend fried a turkey as a gift to us. Another bbq'd a brisket for us. (Apparently not just "fatty" bandsters give food gifts. LOL) And my son was given a ham at work. All I have to do are the sides. Thank goodness for my band! I can enjoy all of that, but not too much.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
